Bitumen in different forms is used as a binder in road construction. The first alternative is normally hot mixes. The second alternative, cut-back, is generally more expensive than hot mix since solvents are often quite costly. The third alternative, bitumen emulsion, does not require heating when applied and it has the advantage over hot bitumen that it can be used with cold and even damp aggregate. An emulsion can be defined as a dispersion of small droplets of one liquid in another liquid. Bitumen emulsions are an oil-in-water type of emulsion where the bitumen is dispersed in water. The size of the droplets is generally in the range 0.001 to 0.02 mm. The bitumen content depends on the intended application of the emulsion, but is rarely lower than 40% or higher than 70% .

The advantages of using bitumen emulsions are

• Easy and safe handling.
• Energy saving.
• Environmentally friendly.
• Economical.
• Durable and storable.
